1 SOUTH AFRICAN MARITIME SAFETY AUTHORITY SAFETY SURVEY CHECKLIST: CLASS IX AND IXA The various Acts and Regulations place the onus on the owner and in some cases the master as well, to ENSURE that the vessel and the crew comply with the requirements of the regulations at all times. PURPOSE: To Assist and Guide the Vessel Owner/Owner Representative to prepare the vessel for a survey. SAMSA SURVEYORS: To ensure that the Owner, Master and Crew comply with relevant Legislation as well as Industry Safety Standards, they do not act as vessel superintendent and therefore do not release the Owner, Master and Crew from their accountability and responsibility to ensure that the vessel complies with Legislation and Best Industry Practises. OWNER/OWNERS REPRESENTATIVE DECLARATION: Vessel Name Official Number Inspection Length (m) Gross Tons kw or HP I, being the responsible person for the abovementioned vessel, have read and completed the checklist, in preparation for the vessel s Hull Survey. I further understand that should the vessel not be ready for survey, the SAMSA SURVEYOR may terminate the survey/audit and that I will be invoiced as per SAMSA Policy. Responsible Person (Full Name) Signature MSA Section 223. Surveyor may direct that defects be made good. (1) If upon the inspection of a vessel a surveyor finds that the provisions of section 73 or 221 or of the maritime occupational safety regulations are not being complied with, or that the vessel is not equipped as required by the construction regulations, the lifesaving equipment regulations, the radio regulations, the collision regulations or any other applicable regulations which may have been made or not marked as required by the load line regulations, or that the equipment is not in good condition, or that the deck lines or load lines are not being properly maintained, or that the master and crew cannot demonstrate the related competency at their place or places of duty, he shall give notice in writing to that effect to the owner or master, pointing out the deficiencies or defects and requiring that they be made good. (2) A copy or every notice so given shall be transmitted by the surveyor to the proper officer at any port at which a clearance for that vessel may be requested, and a clearance shall not be granted, and the vessel shall be detained, until a certificate under the hand of a surveyor is produced stating that the deficiencies or defects have been supplied or made good. APPLICATION: (1) Class IX - A tug, tender, lighter, dredger, barge or hopper which is employed at a port in the Republic and proceeds to sea for not more than 10 miles from the entrance of such port. (2) Class IXA - A tug, tender, lighter, dredger, barge or hopper which is employed at a port in the Republic and does not proceed to sea. SAFE ACCESS SAMSA surveyors have instructions to issue a prohibition order requiring that all work on board be halted and access to the vessel be denied until safe access is provided to the satisfaction of the surveyor, this includes enclose space. ACCOMMODATION LADDERS AND GANGWAYS ABBREVIATIONS MSA Const. SoN MN MED COLREG IFSL Access equipment must be of good construction, sound material and adequate strength, free from patent defect and properly maintained. Gangways should not be used at an angle of more than 30 from the horizontal, unless designed and constructed for use at greater angles. Gangways should not be fixed to the ship s railings unless designed for such use. If rigged in an open section in the ship s bulwark or railings, any remaining gaps should be adequately fenced.
